The lotus step moved lightly, and the hem of a gorgeous skirt was a little messy. Cui Li's small steps were a little hurried, and she hurriedly walked to the person who was waiting anxiously in front of her.

Seeing that Cui Li is figure, the man waved his sleeves and immediately bent down to salute, "Yang Xiu has seen Madame." ”

"Master Yang, Childe just went out, if you go to chase it now, you can probably catch up!" Cui Li Yingying explained.

Yang Xiu smiled slightly, lowered his eyes and explained, "Xiu came all the way to ask to see Madame!" ”

Cui Li raised her eyebrows, and suddenly stared at Yang Xiu with some nervousness. "Me? Master Yang is in such a hurry to see Mrs. Ben, but what's the matter? ”

Yang Xiu bowed his body, lowered his head and explained: "Back to Madame, Xiu please see Madame, there is indeed an urgent matter." But please don't panic, just answer the questions truthfully. ”

After listening to Yang Xiu's words, Cui Li was even more anxious! "Okay, then tell me quickly, what's the problem?"

Yang Xiu bowed again, and asked a little unnaturally: "May I ask Madam, have you ever been to the second son's mansion recently?" ”

The willow eyebrows tightened, and Cui Li thought seriously: "I haven't been there recently, but last time when Sister-in-law Zhen was a little unwell, I went to take a look!" But what's the problem? ”

Cui Li looked at Yang Xiu in a little panic, for fear that she would disclose something.

"Have you ever seen another lady in Nakaro?" Yang Xiu's eyebrows tightened slightly, and a layer of sweat oozed from his palms.

Cui Li twisted her eyebrows again and pondered, pondered carefully, shook her head and said: "Since the death of Ren Ji's sister-in-law, I have never heard that Zhonglang will take another concubine, there must be none." ”

Hearing this, Yang Xiu was suddenly stunned, his face turned sharply, and he turned pale!

Seeing Yang Xiu's appearance also made Cui Li's heart tremble! Twisting his eyebrows, he asked anxiously, "Yang Xiu, is there something wrong?" What does this have to do with the fourth son? ”

Yang Xiu didn't seem to hear Cui Li's question, he just muttered in a daze, and confirmed in disbelief in a panic: "What did you say, madam, Ren Ji, she died!" ”

"yes, what's wrong with that?" Cui Li looked at Yang Xiu strangely, flustered.

The affirmation again made Yang Xiu's head buzz and he stood still. "Then why have I never heard of a funeral in the house of General Zhonglang?" Yang Xiu raised his eyes suddenly, and asked urgently, and even his voice became a little choked.

Cui Li was taken aback by Yang Xiu's somewhat hideous expression, and unconsciously took half a step back, and said suspiciously: "Does this have anything to do with Childe?" ”

Cui Li's reaction made Yang Xiu immediately notice, and he seemed to be a little polite. Immediately bent his waist at a right angle and apologized: "Yang Xiu is rude, please forgive me." ”

"I also heard that Ren Ji seems to have been retired by Zhonglang, so she didn't mourn in the house!" Although Yang Xiu's excitement was a little abnormal, Cui Li still didn't deliberately hide it. After all, she couldn't say if there was anything else to do with this matter. This Yang Xiu is Cao Zhi's right-hand man, and if something bad happens, he can't afford to be guilty.

Cui Li's words were like a sharp knife that was inserted into Yang Xiu's heart, and in an instant, it was heartbreaking, and it was painful!

Gritting his teeth, Yang Xiu forced himself to return to his composure. He bowed to Cui Li with an expressionless face, and said very weakly: "Mrs. Hui, there is no big deal." Please don't talk about today's conversation with the initiate, but please don't worry too much. Xiu, just say goodbye first! ”

Her eyebrows knotted, Cui Li still wanted to ask something, but looking at Yang Xiu's lost soul, she had no choice but to swallow the words that she wanted to vomit back into her stomach. After all, the affairs of officialdom and conspiracy are not suitable for me to interfere in one of my own women's streams. Now, I can only secretly pray that everything is safe.

Yang Xiu walked out of Cao Zhi's Mansion in despair, completely unsure of what to do. A small servant stepped forward and handed him the reins. Called: "Childe! ”

Yang Xiu took the reins of the horse and nodded in a daze. It felt like something was blocked in my throat, and I couldn't say a word. There was a horizontal feeling in his heart, and his eyes were full of coldness. He resolutely turned on his horse, reined in his horse, and galloped towards the city gate......

The city gate has long been crowded with people, with the word "Cao" written on the handsome flag, waving in the wind!

Cao Zhi was wearing British armor and immediately wrote a poem on the spot. The rhetoric is flowery and impassioned. attracted everyone's loud praise, and Cao Cao smiled and nodded in approval!

In the crowd, two people stood side by side, their heads bowed and whispering.

"Sima Yi, I really didn't think about how to send my father!" Cao Pifeng's eyebrows were tightly locked, and he squinted helplessly at the person in official uniform beside him.

Sima Yi turned his head sideways, approached Cao Pi, and said in a low voice: "If you haven't thought about it, you have to send it!" Gongzi is the son of the prime minister, is it possible that his father went on an expedition, and he also learned from this civil and military official to say such a painless sentence as 'triumphant return'! ”

"Then what can I say! Zijian's poem has already compared everyone to others, even if I go out to write a poem, it won't help! Cao Pi frowned, with a dazed expression.

Sima Yi's eyes sank for a long time, as if talking to himself, nodded and muttered: "You can't talk about ordinary, and you can't write poetry!" And the boy cried! ”

"Crying?"

Before Cao Pi's surprised eyebrows could react, he felt an instant pain in his buttocks, and tears immediately welled up in his eyes! Before he came back to his senses, he was pushed out of the crowd by Sima Yi and stood in front of Cao Cao's horse.

The tiger's eyes were slightly gloomy, looking down at Cao Pi's red and tearful eyes, his broad eyebrows instantly tightened the horse's hooves, and asked in a deep voice: "Zihuan, but I have something to say." ”

Cao Pi squinted at Sima Yi, who buried his head deeply, stabilized his body, folded his palms and said: "The child knows that his father is on an expedition, but he can't follow him, and the son is really uneasy. However, the sons and daughters will stay in this Yecheng day and night to pray for their father, looking forward to their father's triumphant return. ”

Before he finished speaking, Cao Pi was already in tears. His eyes were red, and he knelt on the ground, and he didn't get up for a long time. The surrounding crowd was embarrassed when they watched this scene, not to mention Cao Cao, who was a father!

Cao Cao Shen's big black face didn't seem to have changed. Xun Yu, who can stand on one side, can see it at a glance. Under the slightly messy black beard, he raised his mouth very gratefully, but he still had to pretend to be cold.

"Even so, then let's take care of Yecheng!" The thunderous voice suddenly remembered, and his tone was much soothed compared to the beginning of the period. Cao Cao directly bent his horse and skipped Cao Pi, who was kneeling on the ground, and led the large army out of the city gate. The pomp and circumstance is absolutely one word: big!

Cao Cao is figure gradually moved away, Xun Yu stepped forward leisurely, "The city gate has been closed, and the prime minister has also gone away, so get up quickly!" ”

Hearing Xun Yu's voice, Cao Pi slowly got up. Respectfully bowed: "Pi let Xun Lingjun smile!" ”

Xun Yu touched his short beard and said with a slight smile: "The son is filial, how can he say that he is laughing." It's what the son did, which really makes me admire! ”

Xun Yu bent down to worship, but Cao Pi bowed down first and replied: "Xun Lingjun said that he was laughing!" Pi is the son of man, how can he not be concerned about his father. It's just that Fang Cai's heart is excited, and he has this gaffe. ”

Seeing Cao Pi so humble, Xun Yu nodded with great satisfaction. "The filial piety of the son, presumably the prime minister already knows. There are still some things to do, so I won't accompany my son. ”

"Xun Lingjun is naturally busy first, and there is no need to waste time for Pi. It's just that if there is something difficult to solve in the future, I hope Xun Lingjun can give him advice! Cao Pi smiled and said respectfully.

Xun Yu smiled, shook his head slightly, and said: "The son is too modest, if the son has something to ask, how dare he be stingy." Even so, then I'll take my leave first! ”

Cao Pi bent down to give a salute and said gently: "Xun Lingjun, please!" ”

Xun Yu tapped his forehead and left. Looking at Xun Yu's departing back, Cao Pi lowered his hand and touched his still aching buttocks, his eyebrows slightly tightened. What did this Sima Yi use to pierce himself, if it weren't for the fact that this trick was really effective, he would definitely not be able to get around him!

Then the whole street saw a handsome boy limping into the house. Everyone was moved: This Cao Pi is really filial, look at this leg is lame! Several elderly aunts also took out crumpled handkerchiefs and wiped the old tears from their drooping eyes.

But on that handsome face, there is a black line! In fact, Cao Pi didn't want to do this, mainly because Sima Yi's words were too ruthless, and he couldn't even ride a horse now. This embarrassing scene is really the first time in my life. Cao Pi sighed heavily, and had no choice but to go home.

"Why can't you leave today?" Chai Xuan hugged the package on her shoulder into her arms and pouted in annoyance. You must know that you have mustered up a lot of courage to step out of the door, and this sudden day of stool has to be on the bench for so long!

Cao Bao wrapped his arms, shrugged his broad shoulders, and said helplessly: "Today, Cao Cao went on an expedition, so many people were crowded at the gate of the city, we don't need to squeeze with the big army!" ”

"Excuses, all excuses!" Chai Xuan rolled her eyes angrily and said angrily: "What are you disgusted with, obviously because I didn't say goodbye to you at all!" ”

Cao Bao stiffened his neck, and although his heart was empty, he still stiffened his mouth and said: "What are you talking nonsense, what does this have to do with her!" It's inconvenient to go out of the city now! ”

"Cut~" Chai Xuan looked at her with disdain, and got up and went back to the room with her burden rather reluctantly. I am really aggrieved in my heart, in the next day will be tomorrow, see when you Cao Bao can be hard-mouthed!

Gently choked his wrist, Cao Bao sighed. Although she didn't want to admit it, Chai Xuan said it to the depths of her heart. Although the reason for the delay of one day was not just for Chu Die, he was still a little sad in his heart. It stands to reason that Chu Die should have known the news that he was leaving, but why didn't he react at all. Even Lixiang and the others said goodbye to themselves, but Chu Die didn't even see herself.

Cao Bao shook his head secretly, and walked out of the Zhonglang General's Mansion in a daze.

*

The black walls were unusually cold, and a strange pungent smell filled the surroundings.

A soldier pulled the cell door open with a dark face and yelled at an unkempt woman, "Hey! You're ready to get out! ”

The woman turned her dirty face and stared blankly at the soldier for a long time before she struggled to get up. He walked out of the dirty cell with a hint of joy on his face. Pulling his shriveled lips, he asked the soldier, "This military master, is the son coming to pick me up?" ”

After not washing for many days, a foul smell came out of one mouth. The soldier covered his nose in disgust, and said impatiently: "Yes, there can still be a son to pick it up!" Hurry up, there's a guy waiting for you outside, Childe doesn't look like a butcher! ”

As soon as she heard that it was a butcher-like man, the woman shook her head in fear as if she had gone crazy, clutching the wooden door of her cell. "Then I won't go out, I won't go out!"

"You think this cell is your home! If someone hadn't said hello and only locked you up for a few days, no one would have cared about you if you died here! The soldier looked angrily at the woman holding the pillar and said angrily.

But the woman didn't seem to want to let go, but hugged her tighter. Shaking his head like crazy, his already messy hairstyle is shaking more like a grass nest this time. "I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving!" ”

The soldier was really upset by this, beckoned another soldier to come forward, and dragged the woman out of the cell. It's just that there are obviously a few more blood marks on those thin hands, which are drawn by barbs on the door panel!

The woman screamed "don't" and was thrown out of the cell by two soldiers. The sudden appearance of sunlight pierced my eyes. It took a long time to see the surrounding scene clearly.

Holding his bloody hands, he got up from the ground. Before he could say anything, he was slapped by a man with a full face and thrown to the ground again!

"You! If you weren't blind, would Lao Tzu be able to endure hardships in such a place! Bah! Wait until you get back, and see how I clean you up! The man rolled up his sleeves, grabbed the woman from the ground very roughly, and dragged the woman away with a curse.
